I wish I had time to document all of my life and interesting meetings. As I stood in line at airport security sporting my Ohhh so Mormon byui gym tshirt I made a most unsuspecting friend. Apparently we were both headed to reno. This unnamed woman shared some good stories of her travels. She gave me some much needed company and advice. "Only in Utah" and "the odds are good but the goods are odd" were two phrases she used liberally. She told me of her traveling and adventurous lifestyle. Who knew I would run into a gal who had been born in fremont Ohio, lived in mesa Arizona and then spent a good portion of her adult life in Kodiak AK would have so much to talk to me about. Like her dads unexpected death after she got out of the military. Her inherited money that moved her to Alaska (all inspired by her teenage dream to find a good Alaska man that oprah talked about). She actually did marry only to have two kids and then find out her husband was cheating on her with a transvestite. I can't make these kind of stories up! I really wish I would've asked for her name. She went on to tell me about how she set out to finish her degree in cedar city Utah. Her road trip out to Utah from Alaska which took 6 days ended in a flat tire near Logan Utah. She told me how this nice gentleman changed her tire then kept in touch. A week later her drove down south to see her again. Two weeks later he proposed and 4 weeks after that they were married. I may have had a sore neck by the end of the flight but it was worth it. I love people. Thanks to unexpected meetings and great life adventures.
